Cannot access Google play

Aromaticmist · Dec 20, 2015

The only problem I'm having with the box is accessing Google play. It's stuck on 'checking info' I've tried the obvious stuff, forcing stop, clearing cache on both play services and store, no help. I've checked for ota updates, nothing there. Can someone please please help, hours have been wasted trying to access the bloody thing

I am having the same problem :-(

Try using the update app. Also check the the how to sections for advice on your ISP. This solved the issue for me.

Disabled firewall and virus safe, still no update? Any more suggestions?

Pickled Penguin · Dec 22, 2015

Managed to get it working by clearing the cache for the Google play store and Google play services, then logged in.

Have done another Factory Rest and have only setup WiFi. My ROM is showing Version LMY47V.20151216 Test Keys with NO update available. Still not able to access Play Store. Could anyone PLEASE advise on what to do next to gain access to Google;s services. More than 24 Hours in to this and I'm stuck.

Hi

Please run OTA updater and update your box.

If you are having ethernet cable conencted,please either use wifi for update or in top right corner options tick off wifi so download could start.

After downloading and applying of new ROM is done reboot is required.

If google play store still does not work that simply means that update was not applied fully so you can do factory reset and once that is done update will work in its best and google play store will work.

Regards

Done that - and again a few times, still no updates showing against ROM Version LMY47V.20151216.test-keys with ONLY WiFi enabled and no other settings yet set. Anything else that can be tried? Now 48 Hours in and still no go.

If you are using ethernet,disable only wifi in OTA updater then.

Also once you make an update,you are already up to date so there won't be more updates to download at the moment.

Please check if google play store is working!

Thanks for the reply kind sir, unfortunately Play is still failing.

Internet Access is fine, I looked at a couple of the Wookie sites and items there played fine. No Ethernet in use,
Regards.

I'm still stuck with this issue OTA shows no updates available, done 3 or 4 factory resets, OTA version LMY47V.20151216 test keys, cannot access Google play store, just continually shows checking info screen. Very very frustrating

Milamber · Dec 26, 2015

Igor spent around an hour on Christmas Eve using Teamviewer trying to correct this issue and failed. He suggested that he would email me with the complete solution and asked me to look out for a new update, "just in case". No email was received and the issue remains "as is". Most unusual for the droidbox folks. I will wait a little while longer "just in case" but will soon be returning my box as "not fit for purpose" and ask for a refund. Sorry you're in the same boat, but I guess one or two issues are likely with a new Box/OS, guess we are the unlucky ones. My M8 and T8S are both functional so I'm not entirely stuck. Regards.

Claireypie · Dec 26, 2015

I have not factory restored my box yet (I guess that means I would then need to reinstall all my add ins?!) and I don't want to have to do that whilst other people are saying after restoring there is still no update available.

Why is it that some people are seeing the update and others not? Is there not a link we can download the update from rather than waiting for it to appear in the OTA updater?

No update shows in the OTA updater. I have been checking for days. Is there not a link we can download it from?

Milamber · Dec 26, 2015

I specifically asked for a link *Twice* before Igor attempted, unsuccessfully, to fix my box no response.

Would be easy to sort out if there was a link.

Paul Hunt · Dec 26, 2015

I did try a link that somebody else had left on the site but to no joy, I did try calling the folk at Droidbox, but they have not left a message on their answer machine saying when they're back from the xmas break, so all in all this issue is a pain in the derrière. I hope that they visit this site regularly and will give us some help.

Have you tried uninstalling play store altogether and installing the latest version 6.0.5? To uninstall will be settings,apps, find Google play store, force stop, as a double measure clear cache and data, then uninstall. Latest can be downloaded from here>>

Code:

Hope this works for you
